A coin detection antenna includes a substrate and a plurality of air core coils of track shape including a wiring pattern provided on the substrate. The plurality of air core coils is disposed along short-side directions of air cores of the plurality of air core coils such that a smallest coin of coins to be detected crosses at least one of centerlines of the air cores even when the smallest coin is located at any location in a detection range.

Donation receiving apparatus has a denomination discriminator interfacing a storage area. The denomination discriminator has at least one sensor for sensing at least one physical characteristic of currency passing therethrough. A device controller interfaces a mobile communication device interface and the denomination discriminator. In use, the device controller establishes communication with the mobile communication device, detects a denomination using the at least one physical characteristic and transmits the denomination to the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device may execute an application controller which displays a graphical user interface on a digital display thereof which may display the denomination.
